That 66.7% rate is among the highest in the NBA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re mixing two top-10 offences and one of the worst defences in the NBA (Phoenix is 27th in defensive rating).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kings are on the second half of a back-to-back and the Suns have their three leading scorers healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I expect the buckets to flow freely tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The over on this total has hit in three of each team&#8217;s last four games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>These teams have played twice this season. The first game saw a total of 245 points and the second game landed on 231.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Durant 2+ threes (-385):<\/strong> The veteran has nailed three-plus threes nine times in his last 15 games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could play that at -115 but I&#8217;m electing to go a safer route. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Durant is 13-2 vs. this line over that same 15-game stretch, including a 10-2 mark coming out of the break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 36-year-old forward is shooting more threes than ever and converting at a 41.2% clip this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Against the worst 3-point-defending team in the NBA, Durant should have little trouble getting to this number again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Booker 2+ threes (-375):<\/strong> I recommended Booker over 2.5 threes in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-prop-bets-march-14-2025\">top prop picks<\/a> for Friday&#8217;s NBA action, but am electing to drop it down one for this SGP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Durant, Booker has gotten to three often lately, which means two has been quite achievable for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booker has canned two-plus threes in 16 of his last 20 games and 72% of his contests this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beal 2+ threes (-134)<\/strong>: You notice a theme here? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beal isn&#8217;t as automatic as his teammates but we can get good value here in a plus 3-point-shooting matchup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Beal faced the Kings in November, he took double-digit attempts from deep and nailed three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has drilled two-plus in more than half of his games and only two teams allow more 3-point attempts than the Kings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I expect Phoenix, the fourth-best 3-point-shooting team in the NBA, to exploit this tonight and be chucking from long range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And no players on the Suns are going to have the ball as much \u2014 or take more shots \u2014 than these three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Kings vs. Suns predictions made at 3:43 p.m. ET on 03\/14\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday&#8217;s NBA slate ends with a high-stakes game between the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns.
